McFarland's Case.


MACHIAs, Jan. 1.-THE excitement over
the Mcfarland case, now before the grand
jury, is widespread. 1t is stated that wit
nesses were before the grand jury as early
as Thursday, and the examination
has been continued for three days as fast as
witnesses could be brought in. There has
been evidently weakening on the part of
the government, the oft-repeated statements
of threats made by Mcfarland before the
Niles-Hill murder not being so numerous or
positive before the jury as outside. Judge

Commerce and Temperance.

Representative Wakefield of Bath will in

the resolution characterizes as most destruc-

valuable industry Of the whole country.
An attempt is to be made to pass ''short

charging higher freights for short distance
than for longer distance that contains this
shorter distance.

The Major CeneraIship.

The report that Colonel Mitchell of Ban
gor has been promoted to take Brigadier
General Browns place is erroneous. The
Adjutant General has merely issued an
order for Colonel Mitchell to take command
of the militia until General Browns success
sor shall have been chosen. This choice
rests with six militia officers the two
colonies, two lieutenant colonels and two
majors. 1t has been reported that three of
these would be for Colonel Mitchell and
three for General Lynch of Portland. But
it is now said that Major Ben Hill of Au-
burn, now Senator from Androscoggin, is
likely to be the man.

Carpet. Bugs.

The buffalo-bug, as it is termed, is
already summing itself upon the win
dows of many dwellings in this section,
and being mistaken for the innocent
lady-bug, which it closely resembles,
is permitted to enjoy the brightness of
spring days. This Indulgence will re-
suit in due destruction of carpets,
wooden garments, silk articles, paper,
ETC., later in the season, as it is the
progenitor of the buffalo-moth, vora-
cious mite, and not at all fastidious as
regards diet. We noticed early in the
year an agent for the destruction of
these bugs, as well as moths, cock
reaches and other insect vermin that
infest our homes, discovered by cor
respondent of Good Housekeeping. The
remedy is boraX, saltpeter and camphor
in equal portions, powdered and COM
bined and sprinkled about the haunts
of vermin. Neither of these ingredi-
ents alone will accomplish the work
combined they are all powerful. We
know this remedy is effective in ban
ishing cockroaches and water-bugs,
and doubt not it will prove equally a
terror to buffalo-moths and be faith
full ally in this war of determination
that housekeepers must wage with the
tiny Misrepresentation and Farmer.

Tea-Drinking.

1t is not an uncommon sight in many
kitchens to see the teapot upon the
stove for great part of the time.
Many who work hard are apt to think
a cup of tea will refresh and rest them
better than to spend half hour upon
a convenient lounge. That tea is un-
wholesome from standing for long
time is an absolute fact, and the Lon
don Medical Times gives reason for
the discontinuance of its use in para
graph which our tea-drinkers would do
well to consider: q" DR.. Heath of New
castle has been the last to raise his
voice against tea. But it has long
been fact familiar to us that tea is a
most fruitful source of dyspepsia.
Among the vast number of poor women
who frequent the patient-rooms of our
London hospitals we should not be far
wrong in saying that two-thirds are suf-
fering from dyspepsia. This dyspepsia
arises from two cause.-the want OF
proper food and the abuse of articles
like tea, which stay the craving fol
food, but which aggravate the conse.
quent conditions of the Digestion p
Exchange.

Waste i'm the Kitchen.

Waste in the kitchen is very often
great from apparently trivial sources.
In cooking meats the water is thrown
out without removing the grease, or the
grease from the dripping-pan is thrown
away. Scraps of meat are thrown away.
Cold potatoes are left to sour and spoil.
Dry fruits are not looked after and be-
come wormy. Vinegar and sauce are
left standing in tin. Apples are left
to decay for want of sorting over"
The tea-canister is left open. Victuals
are left exposed to be eaten by mice.
Bones of meat and the carcass of
turkey are thrown away when they
could be used in making good soups.
Sugar, coffee, tea and rice are carelessly
spilled in the handling. Soap is left to
dissolve and waste in the water. Dish
towels are used for dish cloths. Nap
kins are used for dish-towels. Towels
are used for holders. Brooms and mops
are not hung up. More coal is burned
than necessary by not arranging
hampers when not using the fire.
Lights are left burning when not used.
lin dishes are not properly cleansed
and dried. Good new brooms are used
in scrubbing the kitchen floor. Silver
spoons are used in scraping kettles.
Cream is left to mould and spoil. Mus
tard is left to spoil in the cruise, etc.
Pickles become spoiled by the leaking
out or evaporation of the vinegar. Pork
spoils for want of salt and beef because
the brine wants scalding. Tea and
coffee-pots are injured on the stove

Cosmetics.

What is more against the appearance
of a woman than a skin which shows
the dust of powder? To observe the
tinge of color on the cheeks and black
ening of eyebrows is to convince the
beholder that the decorations are upon
a person of anything but good charac-
ter. There is no beauty in skin that
is literally whitewashed nor is there
the least deception about it, except from
a stage distance. And yet we have
seen young girls whose complexion
needed no improvement applying
powder because they foolishly mag
ined there was unnecessary shine :"
about the polish which youth alone
possesses. Mothers should inquire
very closely into the habits of their
daughters in all matters relating to the
toilet and see that the hair is cared for,
to preserve its luxuriance; the COM
plexion, that it is kept as pure as the
heart; the teeth, that they remain
sound and white; and the form that is
youthful and erect be not cramped and
deformed by foolish practices. This is
sacred obligation, and the attention
of American women is not devoted to
this subject to the extent that it should
be.-ETchange.

WHY is IT
That rheumatism and neuralgia are so
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered. but it is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in the
land is the victim of one of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are of constant oc-
currence. Not until the discovery of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
coded to be incurabe but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only a ccrtdin
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but a safe remedy. If in the use
of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certain, and to aid this,
Athlophoros pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found to be valuable
aid to the action of the medicine. Athlo-
phoros is no experiment, it has been tested
and has proved its wonde riul efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as "A remedy for use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
a certain cure for either of these very COM
mon and distressing dis eases. They have
also been found to be an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from initiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
headache, constipation, loss of appetite
and all stomach or liver troubles. For
diseases of women they are invaluable.
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
be safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials of those who have been
cured will be sent free on application
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cam
not be bought of the druggist, the Athlo-
phoros Co, II Wall St, New York, will
send either carriage paid on receipt of
regular price, which is $l.00 per bottle
for Athlophoros and SOC. for Pills.
